"Among some of their proposals: giving a supermajority of states the power to override federal laws or even Supreme Court rulings," Serrie said.

He explained that Article V of the U.S. Constitution allows a minimum of two-thirds of the states to call for a convention to propose amendments.

Serrie pointed out that it has never been done before, so this would be breaking new ground if they were to get two-thirds of the states - 28 more - onboard.

"Georgia State Rep. Buzz Brockway says even if their efforts fail to produce a convention of states, just the effort in and of itself could put enough pressure on Congress to pass some meaningful legislation."
